Hunter × Hunter (Japanese: ハンター×ハンター, Hepburn: Hantā Hantā,
abbreviated: HxH) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by
Yoshihiro Togashi. It has been serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine
and journal since March 3, 1998, although the manga has frequently gone
on extended hiatuses since 2006. As of February 2018, 370 chapters have
been collected into 35 volumes by Shueisha. The story focuses on a young
boy named Gon Freecss, who discovers that his father, who he was told
was dead, is actually alive and a world-renowned Hunter, a licensed
profession for those who specialize in fantastic pursuits such as
locating rare or unidentified animal species, treasure hunting,
surveying unexplored enclaves, or hunting down lawless individuals.
Despite being abandoned by his father, Gon departs upon a journey to
follow in his footsteps, pass the rigorous Hunter Examination, and
eventually find his father. Along the way, Gon meets various other
Hunters and also encounters the paranormal. The original inspiration for
the manga came from Togashi's own collecting hobby. In 1999, Hunter ×
Hunter was adapted into a 62-episode anime television series produced by
Nippon Animation and directed by Kazuhiro Furuhashi. The show premiered
on Japan's Fuji TV and ran until 2001. Three separate original video
animations (OVAs) totaling 30 episodes were subsequently produced by
Nippon Animation and released in Japan from 2002 to 2004. A second anime
television series by Madhouse aired on Nippon Television from October
2011 to September 2014, with two animated theatrical films released in
2013. There are also numerous audio albums, video games, musicals, and
other media based on Hunter × Hunter. The manga has been translated into
English and released in North America by Viz Media since April 2005.
Both television series were also licensed by Viz, with the first series
having aired on the Funimation Channel in 2009 and the second series
premiering on Adult Swim's Toonami block since April 16, 2016. Hunter ×
Hunter has been a huge critical and financial success and has become one
of Shueisha's best-selling manga series, having sold 66 million copies
in Japan alone as of 2014.
